For ‘foodies’ - Michelin 2007 restaurant stars
Bonjour a Tous,
Today, Michelin have made their 2007 announcements on which restaurants have been awarded which stars.
The big news is the third star awarded to female chef Anne-Sophie Pic and her restaurant la Maison Pic located in Valence. (Drome) Mme Pic (at left)is the only 3 star female chef in France. Pause for a minute, the ONLY 3 star female chef in France. If you have read my earlier Posts you may recall I was questioning whether France was ready for a female President. In France, food and politics are often in the same pot, usually simmering simultaneously. Only time will tell if the French are ready to sit down to a 9 course political menu prepared by a Madame!!
In other Michelin news we are delighted that our local Michelin rated restuarant at Chagny, Lameloise has won back the 3rd star it lost a couple of years ago. Bravo to Jacques Lameloise and his team.
On the demerit side, one restaurant which has had 3 stars for 33 years, Taillevent, has lost a star as has the restaurant Le Cinq at the luxurious George V Hotel in Paris. So if you were thinking of a stay in that Parisien landmark (standard rooms start at 710 euros a night) you may wish to reconsider!!
A Bientot,
Bruce.
